Adding, Dropping or Withdrawing from a Course

Full Term Classes:

Adding a Class
Classes can be added through the first seven calendar days of the term.

Dropping a Class

• Classes can be dropped through the first seven calendar days of the term without a grade appearing on the student’s academic record.
• Undergraduate students receive a grade of “W” for classes dropped from the eighth calendar day of the term through approximately 80% of the term. 
• A student should consult with the Office of Financial Assistance before withdrawing if:
  • A student would drop below 12 hours for the term after a course withdrawal.
  • A student has multiple withdrawals on their transcript. A student must successfully complete 67% of the classes they attempt to maintain Satisfactory Academic Progress.  Multiple withdrawals can have a negative impact on this and may put a student at risk of loss of Financial Aid. 

See the Academic Calendar for specific dates and policies.
